If you were ever, at all, curious about what Kate Bush might have sounded like if she was in her prime 20 years later, she would likely sound like one Emilie Simon. Not quite the mercurial, witchy clone of Ms. Bush exactly, but vocally playful enough to sound like her, Emilie is coquettish and whimsical enough to be a worthy successor of hers, and is also, as it happens, not too shabby of a composer/arranger. Just a couple of years ago she single-handedly scored the soundtrack for 2005’s March of the Penguins and just a year later released her first full-length record “The Flower Book”.

Today we’re letting you peek at what Simon’s newest single “Rainbow”, off the upcoming The Big Machine, sounds like in remix form. So check it out below V
